first day of work tomorrow. paris is cool. cold as fuck, quite expensive, but beautiful and all that.
i'm currently staying with a friend, but i've found 2 very nice places to stay for the long term. could you help me decide?
place 1:
with a quadriplegic guy (and his aide) in a very well located and very spacious loft. the room is ok, the kitchen is big and the living space is huge. seems like an interesting character, has people from many different countries over regularly, and likes brunch on sundays (mega plus point). the downside is that the laundry and "public" bathroom is in my room, so guests would be coming in an out regularly. it doesn't bother me much but my sister doesn't like the thought for some reason. also i don't know how old these international guests of his are, he's like 50 himself.
place 2:
with a final-year student from ESCP business school who seems pretty cool. the home is generally smaller and i would get either the room or a part of the living room that they separated with a curtain.
both places are well located and the hosts seem really cool. the latter would give me more access to the student life and allow me to meet more people more or less my age, the former i think would quite an interesting experience.
i'm inclined for place 1. an interesting experience, and while i wouldn't be partying in my place it doesn't mean i couldn't party elsewhere. as for hosting people for dinner and shit he's all for it so that would be cool. rents are more or less the same btw.
